TQCC 2020 Pandemic Pedalleur Caps

Following on from Autumn TQCC Team Brief when we asked you for your nominations for a number of “categories” and also to share with us your “selfies” for this pandemic cycling year, this is the Roll of Honour!


Well done to all those nominated, those who shared their “selfies” and to all of our club members who have done real or virtual miles during a very challenging year.


We will be delivering the Caps over the coming few weeks.

Let’s hope we can all be back cycling on the roads together in 2021.

Clarification on TQCC caps for 2020:
Following a number of queries the committee wish to clarify that in relation to “selfies” for our 2020 cap; these can be from any ride in 2020, not simply from date of Team Brief issue. And if you didn’t take a selfie, a photo of your ride from Strava is also fine. 😃 In addition we have added 3 additional locations , namely Eden, Clotworthy and Georgian.
Could we ask that , as detailed in the Team Brief, please let us know if you are in “contention “ for a Cap by 31st October, and then submit your pictures by us by the end of November, so that we can get these ordered and delivered to you by the end of 2020. Thanks
